Nastarana,
You mentioned you were movig up state New York. I would difenitley give Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music a call. He is one of the most knowledgeble people you could ever talk to in the industry regarding very good sound. He is also located upstate New York. Ive met and talked to him at various shows such as Rocky Mountain Audio festival in Denver. His speakers have won numerous awards for best sound of show especially when you factor in pound for pound dollar for dollar sound compared to other systems costing 3-5 times more. Look him up at Merlinmusic dot.
